RE: MINI CHALLENGE #5 - What tactical change would you tell your favorite coach to make if you met? / MINI CONCURSO #5 - ¿Qué cambio táctico le dirías a tu entrenador favorito si lo conocieras?
If I would meet my favorite coach Zinedine Zidane , I would suggest the following :
I would suggest him to urge players to play more attacking rather than maintaining ball possession by passing ball when they could have done intelligent passes and forward/ wingers doing smart runs. Lately , I just see blind crosses by wingers which doesn't even get to the box accurately.
Changing the formation to involve midfielders more into attacking that helps to create more chances to the forwards to scoring goals or making smart passes to the winger to supply ball to the forward. Lately, midfielders are just making normal passes , they are not creating any chances.
For the defense - Suggesting wingers / forwards at least return back to their center half and mark the players. Improving man marking and defense is a must that he should tell to the players. Lately , all I can see defenders jogging, no man marking / awareness and no good defense conceding silly goals in crucial matches.
Finally, be intelligent with subs. Players missing goals, not creating chances, not making smart runs are playing for 90+ mins. Make changes , bring fresh legs on field and experiment with new players synergy.
Wow, nice tactical changes you've devised here. It should definitely improve Madrid's gameplay. Many Thanks 😊
